During Kaapstad Festival, ten Porta Loos are placed on Tilburg's central square. When entering one of three unlocked doors, the festival visitors find an alley filled with famous spots used to urinate in public. Accurately aimed fountains provide a constant flow of alternative use, in the corner of a porch, next to an electricity box, in the bushes and in between trash bags.
Kaapstad is a festival that takes place in Tilburg's city center every August and is aimed to provide a new perspective on the use of public space, similar to how badly needing to pee changes the perspective on the streetscape that surrounds you. |
